Commentary on Proverbs 4:8
Exalt wisdom, and she will promote you; embrace her, and she brings honor. The Hebrew 'salal' (exalt/esteem highly) and 'chabaq' (embrace/cherish) describe affectionate valuing. Those who highly esteem wisdom receive honor in return. This isn't self-promotion but divine exaltation - God honors those who honor wisdom. The embrace imagery suggests intimate relationship, not distant admiration.
